The Blog
I have to admit I entirely forgot about writing this blog. Now here it is 10:30 on Sunday night and I am having terrible difficulty trying to think of topics to write about. I have since collaborated with my roommate, two suitemates, and two other friends to decide what to write about. The consensus is that this blog should discuss all the “off-the-wall” topics that were suggested.
Topic #1: Eco-friendly condoms
The first suggestion to blog about was none other than eco-friendly condoms. First of all, I’m not even sure if these things exist. Apparently, my suitemate thought the sticker above my bed that reads “Just Wear It,” would be a great blog topic. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all about “going green,” but trying to make eco-friendly condoms just seems absurd. Condoms are a big enough hassle as it is.
Topic #2: Smog
All the environmental talk seems to catch on fast. I don’t know very much about smog. I have asthma so it’s a hazard to my lungs, but I guess that can be said for just about every person in the world, regardless of whether they have asthma or not. My suitemate, who transferred from the University of Southern California (The REAL “USC”), says smog is large problem in Los Angeles. My roommate, who is a walking encyclopedia of useless knowledge, says that China has the worst smog problem in the world.
Topic #3: Dogs
Rhyming does wonders for trying to generate blog topics. All my cohorts seem to think they are going to sign million-dollar deals with rapping labels. “Dogs” obviously rhymes with smog. I happen to have three dogs. To be perfectly honest, I don’t like either one of them. I wish I had a Dalmatian. I often wonder why dogs are considered “a man’s best friend.”
Topic #4: Sharpies
Sharpies are multifunctional. I have a huge “Wall of Fame” in my room. Every time someone comes in my room, he or she has to sign my wall. I showed my girlfriend my wall via skype one night and she wasn’t too happy. She said all the Sharpie colors were very pretty though. My friend says that Sharpies can write on any surface. She even went as far to say that you could probably use a Sharpie to write on the aforementioned eco-friendly condoms. I always wanted to do that—sign a condom and keep it as a memorandum. Classy, very classy.

I am right there with you! I waited way too long this week to write my blog. and then it was not even a good one i feel like. Oh well I suppose that works. I love the eco-friendly condom idea. I mean dont judge me but I definitely think that all the people tha cry for this Earth each day, each minute, each second will be greatly pleased if we invent these.They would probably even start walking across campus handing them out. I mean instead of handing out flyers saying “free coal kickoff tomorrow – sign up !” they could hand out eco-friendly condoms and write on them with the sharpie you mentioned, which would then read “Love Earth Back” or some slogan like that. It all works great. Everyone’s happy, that is if you do it right
